If you've noticed Mastodon.social being offline a few evenings this week, it was actually under DDOS those nights. When I asked, I was told the best way to help with Mastosoc's scaling and resiliency-under-pressure issues would be to help them fill this open job posting for a devops position with Mastodon gGMBH:

https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/mastodon/290fd40f-125e-41fc-942d-f4ce59e6bda2

If you know anyone who might be qualified for this position, pass it on!

DevOps Engineer (m/f/d)

We are looking for a DevOps Engineer to maintain and streamline the operation of our own Mastodon infrastructure (servers, official resources) and help us scale with demand.

I am intentionally making this post during Australian afternoon hours because I have this wacky theory Mastosoc is faster to respond to downtime issues during European waking hours and if they hired some Australian or North American people maybe they could respond to events when Eugen is asleep, because Eugen probably has to sleep sometime lol

@mcc i have stopped trying to make sense of Eugen's effective timezone
